About Us

​

The mission of the Australasian Mycological Society is to promote research and teaching in all areas of fungal biology, to raise the profile of mycology in the Australasian region, to promote the conservation of Australasian fungi and to facilitate networking and collaboration among mycologists.

​

AMS members include experts in diverse areas including fungal taxonomy and systematics, ecology, evolution, epidemiology, biochemistry, genetics, cell and molecular biology, biotechnology, conservation and biodiversity, physiology, plant pathology, molecular pathogenesis and medical mycology. 

​

We organize seminars, conferences and forays to bring members together to share their research and to network in a relaxed environment.

​

Our society welcome new members and contributions to our website via news, events, opportunities, fungal photographs or research. Please get in touch if you have something you'd like to share.
